• Yakan: «Isa also said, ‘You are people of the world but I, my place is heaven. All your thoughts are just from the world, but my thoughts are not.» (Source: Yakan Back Translation)

• Kankanaey: «Jesus then said, ‘As for you, you came-from this world and your minds/thoughts are worldly. I by-contrast, I came-from heaven, so my mind/thoughts are different/distinct.» (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: «Jesus said further, ‘As for you, you are of the earth. As for me, I am of the heavens. You belong to this world. I don’t. Therefore what is in our minds/inner-beings isn’t the same.» (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
